About this audio guide
This guide to Triana in Seville centers on a night in 1682, when a Romani guitarist known as Cachorro was stabbed near the Cava de Triana while a sculptor named Francisco Ruiz Gijon worked nearby on a crucifix for a new brotherhood. It follows Gijon kneeling by the dying man, the jealousy behind the attack, and the crowd's reaction when he later carried his finished Christ into the street.
